DES MOINES — Tyler Huff threw for 365 yards, and his 46-yard touchdown pass to Lawson Bachelder with a minute left capped Presbyterian’s fourth-quarter rally in a 28-24 win over Drake on Saturday.

It was the first meeting between the teams. Presbyterian will join the Pioneer Football League full time for the 2021 season.

Presbyterian (4-3, 4-2) was 5 of 6 on fourth-down conversions, 10 for 21 on third-down conversions, outgained Drake 443-288 in total yards and possessed the ball for nearly 37 minutes.
